DS2 was oblique transverse unstable lie (diagonal across me). He just kept on moving! Head up under my ribcage, but kept changing sides; he went head down for all of about 30 seconds in one scan but then swam off again.
To be fair to him, I did have polyhydramnios so he had plenty of space to swim about!
I tried some of the spinning babies stuff, but couldn't do too much because I also had evil acid reflux AND SPD, so some of the positional stuff just wasn't an option.
I tried reflexology and moxibustion, and acupuncture - didn't work.
In the end, I was induced at 39w over 3 days, the 3rd day they did an ECV followed by ARM (manual rupture of the membranes/waters) and I went on to give birth to him vaginally. I did need syntocin because, as his head had never engaged, my contractions needed to be brought on fast to push his head down onto my cervix to progress labour.
The ECV was not something I wanted, but it was that or CS - because DS2 was too unstable to even attempt breech delivery (something my consultant was able and willing to do if it had been appropriate) - and because I had the ECV on the day of delivery, and they got the monitor on his head straight after the waters went, there was far less risk.
I would not have accepted having ECV ahead of time - the risks may not be THAT high but they're still TOO high for me - and in my case, there would have been no point because of the polyhydramnios. There was also a theatre on standby for me just in case ANYthing went wrong at ANY point in my delivery, which luckily it didn't, or I'd have been straight in for CS.
